Well, we had an event that required suiting up, so DD was with me (I know, bad pic, cell, sorry!).

As soon as we get in the car and start driving, out of the blue she just tells me: You know what? We should get matching YM's. This comes from someone that does not care about watches BUT wears mine!

So the good news: we will visit AD's and start looking at options. The not so good, well, upcoming non planned expense

What are your thoughts about this 'unusual' scenario?

Have a great week!!

Nice job matching the watch, cufflinks, and tie - looks great.

As for the wife suggesting new watches, go with it. Although I understand the expense concern, my biggest hurdle to my next watch is getting the wife on board.

STEELINOX · 1 March 2011, 02:06 AM

Its good to be you !

Dan Pierce · 1 March 2011, 02:07 AM

Looking good there, Gerardo!

I always remind myself more is better than less when it comes to Oysters.

Thank you. To be honest, I am (gladly) surprised! This is the first time she suggests this, previous purchases had been for her OR for me (in the end for her as well

). We will see how it goes.

Feel lucky you have a common interest. My wife wants nothing to do with Rolex, which she considers "big and bulky".

Let's just say that this 'common interest' took decades to show up! We will see how it goes.

Gerardo, you are a lucky man to have a wife who is understanding and wants to share in your enjoyment of fine watches!!!

I agree. Although I spit my coffee and almost crashed

GeoGio Greece · 1 March 2011, 02:32 AM

Feel lucky you have the money to get them.

My wife keeps asking, but I cannot afford the cost

Chris B · 1 March 2011, 02:40 AM

Looking sharp Gerardo

JasoninDenver · 1 March 2011, 03:10 AM

I fear that my wife would say that because she won't wear anything without diamonds.

spuds · 1 March 2011, 03:38 AM

I'm lovin' those cufflinks!!

As for the rest of your dilemma I can think of worse positions to be in!!

Hydrographer · 1 March 2011, 03:43 AM

Very slick

I wish my lady would say something like that to me

LnL · 1 March 2011, 05:48 AM

Got my wife a TT Yachtmaster, not long ago. Found it fairly cheap on eBay, the seller agreed to have Steve Mulholland check it out or refund me the money. Had it shipped to Steve, he verified and serviced/refinished it for us.

Instead of a YM for me, I got a TT Daytona.

Nice!!
Good thing my wife doesnt wear a watch. She has lost 3 diamond rings though!! Should have put in safe place when scrubbing in for surgery.......

Regards.

SteKos · 1 March 2011, 06:32 AM

I still contend that an 18K Day-Date is one of 2 dress watches you must own. The other would be a PP Calatrava on a leather strap for when you want the quality, but not all the gold.

Brenngun · 1 March 2011, 06:55 AM

Gerardo, slik look with the DJ. As for the matching watches well I think we both know that if it was her suggestion then it's already a done deal. Your only question should be which ones?? I'm very partial to this one. Great for sport and with a tux.

threemonkeys · 1 March 2011, 07:28 AM

My wife recently got on board the Rolex bandwagon as well. It's good to have another Rolex wearer in the house. Bad that I now my watch collection will be slowed down as I will now need to buy every other watch for her (so I'm told).

acce1999 · 1 March 2011, 07:38 AM

Nicely matched!

Rolex Freak · 1 March 2011, 08:14 AM

I like the way your wife thinks.

Go for it.

RRGHOST1 · 1 March 2011, 08:56 AM

Can't see my wife wearing a matching Ceramic TT Blue Sub to be honest, i think she thinks i'm daft about Rolex,and doesn't know what all the fuss is about. She would rather spend the money on a holiday.

rfknauss · 1 March 2011, 09:59 AM

Awesome Gerardo!

BarkMaster · 1 March 2011, 11:16 AM

DesertDogs · 1 March 2011, 11:30 AM

Great Idea! But recommend she get the 35mm or the 40mm version. We have both. I love the size of the 35mm and wear it almost daily.

PeteNYC13 · 1 March 2011, 11:33 AM

They do make a good pair...

Good luck with the shopping.

JVP · 1 March 2011, 12:05 PM

Buying the Ladies 18k DJ w/MOP and Diamond face "allowed" me to get the 18k Sub and a few other toys. I think that the diamonds and elegantly understated. Besides, it's nice to have a beautiful wife wearing a beautiful watch.
